Designing A Better Website 
HTML Tips 
The Fieldset Tag
By: Jason J. Russo

This week I'm going to show you some HTML tags that you can use 
to add some great functionality to your forms.

<fieldset></fieldset>
The fieldset tag will add a windows like effect around any elements 
you put inside of it.  This tag is great for grouping form elements 
together plus it just looks cool!  

Example:
Put A fieldset around this window
<legend></legend>

This will simply add a title to the fieldset tag.  
<legend>Windows Like Forms</legend>

Example:
Windows
Put A fieldset around this window

<label></label>
With the label key you can specify what part of a form element gets 
highlighted when you click on the assigned text within the label tag.  

Here is an example:

<LABEL FOR="Bronze">Bronze</label>
<input type=radio name=itemstyle ID=Bronze>

Press the Bronze text below:

Bronze 

The above example will highlight the radio button.  'FOR' is the name 
you assign to the specific form function.

<label FOR="this" ACCESSKEY="T"><u>T</u>ext Field:</label>
<input type=text ID=this>

By adding the ACCESSKEY within your label tag you can assign a letter on 
the users keyboard so that when they press the ALT "letter you assign" 
together it will highlight that object.

Text Field:
Press alt T on your keyboard 
and the text field below will be highlighted








Window like forms


Click on the text below and the radio buttons will check.
